"On June 26, 2006, the Elks building collapsed. The third and second floors fell into the ground floor which housed Cummings Mens Wear. The collapse began in the common wall between the Elks Lodge and Kreisler's Drug and has been deemed by forensic engineers as an "unforeseen collapse."
No written report about the collapse has been generated as of today. Kreisler's occupied two buildings and both have been condemned and will be demolished. Switzer Law Office was adjacent to the Elks building to the east and has also been condemned and will be demolished."
My commentary:
This two-story brick building was constructed after the collapse of June, 2006. The new building encompasses 107-117 W Franklin. The first floor has three storefronts on the right side of the double glass doors of the Elk Lodge on the upper story. There are two storefronts on the left side with three 3/1 bay windows on the far left. On each end of the building, there is a recessed area on the second story. On the left side are 4 windows that have an upper arched casing, the 4 windows on the right are rectangular. In the center is a small circular window. Three-quarters up the center section is the B.P.O.E. Seal with the outer wording: Clinton Elks Lodge 1034.
